    Were the Dakota 4 Shanghai'd by the MVC? 

    The MVC now has Murray State (FB in MVFC).

    The MVC now has six FB schools (IllSU, IndSU, Murray, UNI, MoiSt, SIU). <-- The MVC could pull in football (out from the MVFC).
    They'd likely pull in Youngstown and probably Robert Morris (who's looking for a home). There's eight. That works. 
    And they become a stronger all-sports conference with football, football their way however meaning BB first. 
    As their bonus ... no more trips to play FB in the Dakotas. 

    Should that happen, what's left of the MVFC? xDSUs and UxDs. (Remember: WIU is gone to the OVC.) 

    Looking at this through the MVC lens, this feels uncomfortably orchestrated. (Get Murray in to MVC/MVFC knowing WIU would leave for OVC.) 

    It looks like the MVC-first schools are setting up to hang the Dakota 4 out to dry, at least in football, and likely with the Summit too (by getting WIU to leave). 

    Well put...... Fenton gonna go to war!!

    Seriously? Washington State University can't track and document its revenues and expenses? That screams "big time". :glare:

    And they were overpaid by media during Covid and media want that money back. Whups. 

    And there has to be a good joke in there about the PAC12 leaving San Fran. :lol:

    I still do believe they (WasSU) and OrSU will be left with only MWC chairs when the PAC12 fire sale music stops. (The MWC might inherit the "PAC" name with them.)

    if they get the pac name do they get what is left in the PAC bank account too?

    Does it actually? Other than aerospace?

    In one ranking I saw MSU was 114th for public unis and UND was 117. 

    Assuming his degree would have him going thru Nistler…..so yes.

    But his major is different so who knows….consumer behavior and marketplace studies?

  4. will be interesting to watch Central Florida...were added to big 12 to fill the florida market and added a school when big 12 was seen as on their deathbed....flash forward and now it seems like big12 mightbe able to add some really nice schools after big10 and sec eat first........so if miami and fsu are still sitting there for the taking does the big 12 say sorry ucf...but we got florida covered with miami and  fsu and you are kicked out back to the Sun Belt cusa or AAC....especiially if miami and fsu make it a requirement to join the big 12...

    once again....easy maths for me on that call...see ya knights!

    If it's so easy, why in the dozen years since 2011 hasn't "drop N" happened. Clearly they can pick and choose any time they want (USC/UCLA). 

    bc there hasn't been much conference realignment amongst the bigger conferences in a while....

    if the big 10 had to choose between north carolina or nebraska...that's an easy call bc you can't keep/add em all unless the amount of conference members is infinite....

    If the B1G were going to drop N for losing AAU status it would've happened years ago.

    Nebraska entered the B1G in 2011 and lost AAU later that same year. 

    lots more AAU schools will be available shortly...drop dead weight in nebraska and blame them for losing aau and add aau virginia and or north  carolina......easy math

    " ... it'd be hard ... " <- meaning not impossible.

    The numbers would have to work. That's any deal: it must be mutually beneficial. 

    But it would be hard to walk away from B1G affiliation. 

    However, no worries, UCLA will add hockey before they'd invite UND. 

    wonder if both ucla AND usc both add varsity hockey quickly....

    So how much would the PAC 12 have to distribute to get USC and UCLA to change their minds? Know it won’t happen, but guesses? It would be offset by less travel. 

    nothing..it's money and prestige....no one turns down a big 10 offer

    He actually gets things done unlike ol 2 lunch Brown. The roads are a disaster but he can’t control the weather.

    if more people only knew what "2 lunch brown" meant..................
